Chelsea set to miss out on target due to Premier League rules

Chelsea are set to miss out on striker Andrej Kramaric during the January transfer window due to a piece of smallprint in the Premier League rules and regulations, report the Mirror, with the Blues’ plan of loaning the Croatian to Leicester City now dead in the water.

With Kramaric also uncertain about the level of first team football that he would receive at Stamford Bridge, a permanent move to the King Power Stadium now looks likely, with Nigel Pearson’s survival hopes now set to be pinned on the 23 year-old, who is set to cost almost £10m.

Kramaric’s goalscoring record for Rijeka over recent seasons is superb and has attracted the attention of Jose Mourinho, but it looks as though the Blues are set to miss out on their man.
